We recently provided evidence that anti-inflammatory macrophage activation, i.e., the inhibition of constitutive and signal-induced NF-kappaB activity by the pulmonary collectin surfactant protein (SP)-A, critically involves a promoted stabilization of IkappaB-alpha, the predominant inhibitor of NF-kappaB, via posttranscriptional mechanisms comprising the activation of atypical (a)PKCzeta. SP-A uptake and degradation by alveolar macrophages (AMphi) occur in a receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent manner. However, a mutual link between endocytosis of and signaling by SP-A remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate whether clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) of SP-A by AMphi is a prerequisite for its modulation of the IkappaB-alpha/NF-kappaB pathway. The inhibition of clathrin-coated pit (CCP) formation and clathrin-coated vesicle (CCV) formation/budding abrogates SP-A-mediated IkappaB-alpha stabilization and SP-A-mediated inhibition of LPS-induced NF-kappaB activation in freshly isolated rat AMphi, as determined by Western analysis, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, confocal microscopy, and EMSA. Actin depolymerization and inhibition of CCP formation further abolished SP-A-mediated inhibition of LPS-induced TNF-alpha release, as determined by ELISA. In addition, SP-A-induced atypical PKCzeta activation was abolished by pretreatment of AMphi with CCV inhibitors as determined by in vitro immunocomplex kinase assay. Although CME is classically considered as a means to terminate signaling, our results demonstrate that SP-A uptake via CME by AMphi has to precede the initiation of SP-A signaling.
